    The Demon Soul's Remake looks rly good overall, I hope it's released on PC too.
    Main issue I have with it is some of the changes to models and the music that don't give the same feel as in the original.
    I dunno why devs working with other peoples work like that always seem to feel the need to throw in '' their own '' stuff, it's so unnecessary and rarely works out.
    I have the same issue with Amazons changes in Lost Ark especially with the gear early on, it doesn't look like it belongs in the game even.
    Whenever they've changed something it's REALLY obvious.
    They also sell a starting pack with modified versions of it as skins ( for like 65 euro, LOL ) and most of them look absolutely horrible and like they don't belong in the game at all.
    The Martial Artist in particular looks like a fantasy knight cosplayer wearing plastic armor drenched in eye-blinding white paint. It's one of the ugliest skins I've seen and at least the ugliest in the game.

    I dunno why it's so hard for them to just leave things alone it kinda comes across as narcissistic to me when people think they need to mess around with other peoples art like that.
    It's like they can't deal with the fact that they're working on something that isn't theirs and they need to try and make it theirs somehow.
    Like someone who's cleaning a painting to put it up for view for a new audience and they just reaaaaally insist on throwing in their own brush strokes and signature at the bottom.

    So far the one model that's really bothered me is the redone Dregling. They look like dried out regular guys, rather than gaining their inhuman pointy ears. I only got to play it for a couple hours, but I brought down Tower Knight and went into the Storm Island. Skeletons there seem to be rather bulked up than what I remember. Like barely staggering for anything.

    I know sometimes for remakes they can't reacquire the original VAs, and then want to use different instruments for the recording too or whatever... but man... they really did Massacre this opening.

    OG Demon's Souls Intro

    Different VA. Weaker instrumentals. Attempt to recreate the artwork with in game engine halfsies weirdness. Smaller, weaker fire too.

    In the realm of remakes, if that KOTOR remake is still getting churned out, I am really not looking forward to it. If only for the fact that it's impossible to get John Cygan to voice Canderous since he's dead. But even moreso, that due to that, they may delete Canderous entirely and replace him with a diversity hire. Since they're on record saying, "We're going to "fix" the story and characters for modern audiences." or whatever.

    Lately I've just been capping my weekly tomes and not much else. Not feeling the rush to max everything to the level cap and don't have much else I feel like doing. But that usually happens with expansion launch, so hopefully 6.1 brings more to do.

    Man, I hope that the KoTOR Remake does good. I pray that the KoTOR Remake does good. I hope that the game is so good that it bridges the divide of the SW Fandom and that we can move forward to bigger and better movies and games. The last time I had personal expectations this high for a game was with New Gundam Breakers and I'd rather rewatch Space Runaway Ideon, Grave of the Fireflies, and End of Evangelion back to back than talk about that game ever again.

    Yeah.. I'd temper that if I was you. I have heard they were "remaking it for modern audiences" or something along those lines.

    Yeah, uh.
    I have no faith in that tbh.

    Altho I actually enjoyed Kotor 2 more than 1.
    I still love Kotor 1 but it's definitely a bit more of a typical fantasy hero story ( regardless of the twist ).
    I feel like both games tho are kinda just perfect as they are as far as the writing goes.
    A remaster I think would be great but not a remaster.

    In fairness they seem to have left the overall game alone in this regard, but I'll try to explain it.
    They swapped out armor previews at the character creation in a really lazy and dumb way to try and have more modest previews.
    It was very lazily done though they have repeated gear so you've got two identical armor sets in different colors taking up two slots that on Korean and Russian servers are two unique sets.
    Those two and some others are also new I think and they look absolutely terrible and not like they fit the rest of the gear at all they look like they're from a totally different game altogether.

    And then they changed the starting gear and how your character looks when they've got no gear on.
    The gear doesn't even fit the classes the Martial Artist for example looks like she's a knight and it was pretty transparent that the mentality was '' no skin bellow the neck '' for all of them ( didn't happen to the male characters tho, two of them still got revealing ones ).
    The way your character looks with no gear on ( your default look ) is also the same as the new starting gear which is a permanent change you can't do anything about and it looks very strange.
    And as a result your gear doesn't even change how your character looks even the icons show the old original gear but they have the wrong model.

    Imo I don't think it's that big of a deal so long as they don't touch the rest of the game, I am not sure I believe that they won't tho the fact it was even on the table at all to change any of this is concerning to me.
    It also makes me think that they won't add some skins to the cash shop altogether, or that they'll change more in future updates.
    You're also bombarded with some of the skimpiest gear in the game in the trial area which defeats the whole purpose.
    The female Gunslinger also has her original '' unequipped '' look as her new starting gear which again defeats the purpose.
    But then when you take her gear off she's suddenly in a full black suit that looks like it's epic gear or a skin from the store rofl.
    Your default looks in Diablo 3 for example clearly look like '' I have no gear on '' I dunno why tf they thought it was a problem here.

    Their marketing also has censored versions of costumes in it ( uncensored ingame ) which obviously caused concern too, their marketing isn't even consistent about this either tho which again begs the question as to why.
    Even tho I think some of the outrage was exaggerated I still think it was a problem they created themselves.
    The feedback to it was overwhelmingly negative and all we got was copy pasted answers that didn't actually answer any of the concerns about it and they seem'd to basically refuse to deliver the feedback to the devs.

    But yeah...
    Imo I think that if you're gonna change this kind of stuff you've gotta have a VERY good reason and be more consistent and less lazy about it.
    Otherwise it feels like you're only compromising the game and making it worse, even if it's slightly worse it's still worse for no real reason which is a bad precedent to set.
    For example I can understand why characters in Korea MMO's that look like minors get censored, there is a logic behind it and it's usually consistently done.

    I miss the old Star Wars games especially the Jedi Knight series.
    The future of Star Wars tho seems to be Disney's push for the '' New Republic '' or whatever it was called tho.
    It reminds me too much of a Disneyland merchandise IP lol.
    I dunno what it is I can't explain it but everytime I look at it all I can think is '' this was designed to sell merchandise ''.

    Nooooo, last episode of this season of Demon Slayer.
    I want more .

    I don't really watch a lot of Anime and I don't like a lot of the shounen tropes but damn that show has incredible animation.
    Fight scenes are so cool, I started watching Vinland Saga too but I feel like I've been spoiled by the animation in Demon Slayer it feels so stiff in comparison.
    The dream would be Berserk being properly adapted with that kind of high quality.

    I seriously doubt it, all the good writers were pushed out and we got Ky "lowrider" Lyn. I'm confident Starwars is just going to be used to push more space nazi stories before slowly fading into the sunset like Quickdraw McGraw and Tenchi Muyo. There will be a small handful of fans but the IP is dead, let's not kid ourselves. :/

    Sun? What's that?

    I'm looking forward to the spring when the weather warms up a little and all the trees/flowers start blooming again. It's probably my favourite time of year alongside autumn since neither period is too hot or too cold.

    It's a plague upon many excellent IP's these days, it seems. It's not even necessarily reflective of what 'modern audiences' desire, either. If it fails to do well, though, I'm sure we'll see the usual gaslighting where 'gamers' as a whole are branded 'bigots' and other silly words.

    Honestly, at this point the only thing keeping me around is my house. I'm not enjoying the game as much as I once did and Endwalker very hastily wrapped up most of the story elements that did maintain my interest. So, for me, it's just a case of seeing if 6.1 is going to shake things up in a way that I like not just on a story front but also in terms of actual content.
